Hi,

What is the trick to get kernel updates functional with apt-get on FC5?

On a machine having FC5 installed:
# rpm -qa 'kernel*' 'kmod*'
kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5
kmod-nvidia-1.0.8762-1.2.6.16_1.2122_FC5

# apt-get upgrade

# apt-get install kmod-nvidia#1.0.8762-2.2.6.16_1.2133_FC5

The following extra packages will be installed:
   kernel#2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 (2.6.16-1.2133_FC5)
The following NEW packages will be installed:
   kernel#2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 (2.6.16-1.2133_FC5)
   kmod-nvidia#1.0.8762-2.2.6.16_1.2133_FC5
(1.0.8762-2.2.6.16_1.2133_FC5)
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/15.7MB of archives.
After unpacking 40.7MB of additional disk space will be used.
...

WTH?

Ralf
